Fix to Multiple Custom Search Fields

I decided to revisit the issue of Product Carts inability to assign multiple custom search fields to a product.

Example:
Color: Blue
Color: Green
Color: Black

I spent a few minutes looking at the code and think I may have fixed this limitation. I am not a developer so please test this out and let me know if it works for you as well.

All I did was comment out a section of javascript code. To do this find the "modifiyProduct.asp" file under whatever you have renamed your admin folder. Then comment out the section of code below at around line 2196: (note: /* and */ are the comment tags):

/*for (var i=0;i<=SFCount;i++)
{
if (SFID==tmpSFID)
{                                             SFVID=tmpSVID;
SFVALUE=tmpSValue;
SFVORDER=tmpSOrder;
found=1;
break;
}
}*/

Now save and upload and test it out. If it worked like it did for me I can now add multiple values.



Please let me know if this works for you. I have not tested if there will be any issues on the front end displaying this information but at least it is in the database.

Yes, we have been using this for about 6 months now. It was the only way we could use the Custom Search Fields since only being able to use 1 was not an option for us.

I am in the process of trying this - that same string is found in the  AdminCustom.asp file - have you commented it out there too? I found that when I was trying to add multiples from that page. It seems to be working - but needs some refining in how it shows up on my product page. ie:

current:
Custom Field 1 : Custom Data
Custom Field 1: Custom Data
Custom Field 1: Custom Data
Custom Field 2: Custom Data
Custom Field 2: Custom Data

I think this needs to look a bit cleaner - ie:

Custom Field 1: Custom Data, Custom Data, Custom Data
etc.....

Greg - I believe I was one of the folks that asked you about this!
